4 years old!!!

What an amazing 4 years of love laughter and good times this little girl has brought to our lives! We are so blessed by this little munchkin! 

This year Heather wanted a fairy and pixie party.. so fun! It was hotter than you could believe but thankfully the bouncy house slide combo we rented came w/ a water slide =) 

this one was better than last year because the step to the slide was just the right size for the little pixie princesses. Despite the heat everyone had a good time celebrating and that's what really counts! We are truly blessed with great family and friends

Heather and Zoe had fun going down the slide so they thought they would try going up too.. team work ya know =) 

Yummy cake! and the reason the bottom corner isnt showing is because some little pixie's had to flavor sample the cake before it was served =) 

I made some fairy fruit wands w/ yogurt dip and mini pb& j sandwiches for the fairies and pixies 

we made some pixie dust too.. we all had fun with that! There is still some pixie dust floating around the yard too! =) 

apparently Grandma didn't want to smile for the camera.. =) 

Grandma CJ and Pappa

rare sighting... both my mother in laws smiling in the same picture hahahaha

just kidding =)

Roxie making some pixie dust

Auntie Anne! (where Heather gets her middle name) 

because real Dad's can rock the fairy wings too =) 

I loved this bouncy house! and we got to keep it until sunday afternoon...how cool is that! the girls had fairy wings and the boys had foam swords to play with and we had games and pixie dust too.. the kiddos had a great time and didnt melt! 

I cant believe our little girl is 4! it seems like just yesterday we were holding a little bundle in our arms. Cant wait to see what this year of adventure holds... 

Jurassic Fun...

Many moons ago when Kevin was a little lad he had played at this park so it was very special to take Heather there too. In between Alhambra and San Gabriel is Vincent Lugo park, its an old park but so much fun. Where else can you slide down a snail and climb into a whales mouth =) we all had fun! 

the park has been spruced up over the years and looks great but the "toys" are the same as many years ago

the dragon slide..

Kev went down it again and I think I heard him giggle too but dont tell him heehee

whale balancing 

I liked this one.. you had to climb in thru the lighthouse and then slide down

Im riding a whale.. 

dont ya just love the pose LOL 

there is a sea serpant, snail, star fish, seals and whales to climb over, on and in 

It was such a fun afternoon!!

I can fly...

Get ready ... the flying Heather is ready for take off...

Happy Birthday America

We celebrated America's bday with friends and of course a few sparklers =) 

Heather and Zoe getting their groove on while waiting for sparklers

Zoe has got some moves!

my two favorite people in the world

the kiddos were patiently waiting for the show... they lit off some ground flowers and then more sparklers! I still love sparklers too 

so cute! 

our colorful little bunch!

Just a Swingin'...

Summer is here! Sunshine, long days and tons of play time ..its my favorite time of the year. Summer is starting off great! 

last saturday the moon was suppose to be closer to earth than normal so we had to check it out. I liked this pic because it looks like the trees are holding the moon up =) 

Heather LOVES to swing.. she would swing all day if she could

she gets a little dirty sometimes but always smiling having fun

Im an airplane....

we have now mastered how to swing up side down.. she tried doing a flip too. She's my little daredevil =) 

We are all doing good and lovin the sun and time with our family and friends

sun and fun

Another great weekend w/ friends playing in the sunshine! 

we headed to the river with some friends and enjoyed some time on the boat and playing in the sun. It wasnt really hot which was nice but the water.. bbbrrrr... it was a bit chilly at first. 

we made a little stop in the town of Goff on our way to the river..its not much of a town anymore but we get out to stretch the legs and check out the trains =) 

Heather was running as fast as a train..this girl LOVES to run!

it kind of reminds me of radiator springs...

spent the weekend on the boat enjoying some sun

saw this cool car/ boat! it drove up on the beach afterwards too! CRAZY!

a very nice memorial to honor all that have and continue 

to keep our amazing country safe! 

the kiddos building some sandcastles

the water was far from warm.. but Heather still went in =)

 (Kev is over on the side) 

Hunter is our friends pup.. she's a great hunting dog and saw the ducks..

 we almost had duck for dinner! 

but she was called back so the ducks could enjoy the rest of their swim 

went over to watch the fireworks from the Avi.. amazing show! 

saw this HUGE competition boat on the way home..

 I cant even imagine what it would be like to ride in that! 

Kev and Heather went shooting with some of the group too and Heather shot the .22  6 times and hit a can.. she was so prould of her self. Kev helped her hold it.. she may be a sharp shooter soon HAHA! 

Its always nice to spend time with friends...

now.. lets see what next weekend has in store for us =)
